Celine Dion experienced something of a rebirth in 2017, and I think it’s safe to say that we all enjoyed—or were at least entertained—watching every minute of the iconic singer take the stage—both literally and figuratively.

It was a big year for the songstress, as it marked the 20th anniversary of her equally iconic ‘Titanic’ love song, ‘My Heart Will Go On.’

And, because she’s never done things by halves, her style was equally monumental, with a focus on couture.

Early on, she had me sitting up and paying attention with her white Stephane Rolland Couture gown that put any other rendition of bold shoulders to shame. Couture moments from Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad also provided plenty of sartorial eye candy.

Models have become infamous for taking the less-is-more route when it comes to fashion—as their brand of minimalism is maximum exposure.

That’s why we love our Model of the Year Lily Aldridge for showing that there is far more to style than just skin.

The stunning brunette, who just wrapped up the year walking her ninth Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, is both a runway and red-carpet veteran.

And, she has never looked more elegant.

No matter if she’s suited up in Ralph Lauren, or upholding classic black-gown glamour in Alex Perry, or captivating in crimson-red Zac Posen, she brings a sense of classic seduction that’s far more sensual than any see-through or skin-baring look.

It was her green J. Mendel pleated cape gown, though, that resonated as one of her most breathtaking moments of the year. Would you agree?

You may remember that Elie Saab has been the longstanding king of the Designer of the Year crown, but 2017 ended his five-year reign.

It was none other than Ralph & Russo Couture who captured the crown, ushering in a new form of red-carpet allure for 2017. And, they’ve even entered the royal ranks, with Meghan Markle recently opting for the brand in her engagement photos.

Even though eveningwear may be the London-based label’s sweet spot, the two Aussie designers behind the dazzling designs ultimately prove that variety is the spice of life.

And, that was even more true, as they debuted their ready-to-wear collection for Spring 2018 that brought their distinct breed of luxury to more diverse yet still-dazzling territory.

Luxury took on new meaning—sometimes with girlish whimsy, as in Kaia Gerber’s youthful ruffles. Other times, feathered fun and metallic moxie took front-and-centre stage.

I’m always rooting for the underdog, and in 2017, she was none other than Mandy Moore.

The actress may have garnered her fair share of attention for her role in the TV series that has captured many people’s hearts, ‘This Is Us.’ But, I would say that her style had just as much of a breakout role.

Mandy was on a chic streak that knew no end, yet somehow she—and her strong statement looks—seemed to slide right under the radar.

I, for one, loved watching her transition between her hyper-girlish, lady-like frocks, to impossibly sleek glamour gowns, to experimental, edgy offerings and then back all over again.

Sure, there were a few more questionable looks in the mix, as she stepped outside the romance of classic femininity into more uncharted territory. But, then again, can we really fault her for experimenting and never staying on one note?
